Hello All!!


This is my first message to a message board!  My husband is infertile due to his second round of cancer treatments (it has been a long road and process) and he banked sperm so we will be starting fertility treatments soon.  I am very private person so I have not told any of our family or friends that about this as I am worried that people will start to be too interested in each cycle and what we are doing and if I am pregnant.  Do any of you have any advise on how to deal with the upcoming roller coaster??  I feel very alone and scared and feel like the emotions are going to be running high as we start with the artificial insemination and if that does not take after 2 months we will move to injectable drugs.


How have your experiences been with the process?  I am sorry to be asking such simple questions. . . . I just do not have the family/girlfriend support since I chosen to be private with this process.


Is there anyone in Ohio or the Columbus area on this board?


Thanks!!


Katie

Hello and Welcome Katie!


I'm sorry to hear that you are having to deal with IF issues on top of the cancer.
